Tony Valente has broken a lot of ground with Radiant. Originally released in France, this manga series surprisingly got an anime adaptation last year. The first season’s release was a relatively quiet affair when compared to the massive hits it was competing with in the Fall 2018 wave of new releases, but that changed as the series closed out its first season and began to explore darker elements of its world as Seth learned more about how to harness Fantasia. This is one of the many reasons fans are excited for the debut of the second season as it will capitalize on many of these elements.

Being immune to them, Seth wants to become a Hunter and fight the Nemesis. But more than that, Seth wants to engage in a quest that goes beyond the simple hunt for monsters. He wants to find the Radiant, their presumed cradle. Aided by a faction of fellow sorcerers, he travels the world in search of the Radiant, under the harsh scrutiny of the Inquisition.”
